“In times like these, financial strength and dividends are two of the critical components in making your investment selections,” said Alan Lancz, president of investment advisory firm Alan B. Lancz & Associates Inc. “It’s not just the dividend yield, but the sustainability of that dividend.” Norway’s Equinor said on Thursday it was cutting its quarterly dividend by two-thirds as part of an effort to preserve cash, while oil services firm Schlumberger NV earlier this month slashed its dividend by 75%.
Other companies that have recently taken action on their dividends include casino operator Las Vegas Sands, cruise operator Carnival Corp and apparel retailer Gap Inc, which suspended their payouts.
